This is not a problem. The kernel will use an internal mapping to |

figure out what the device major and minor number is for /dev/sda1. |

It does not depend on anything being in /dev. |

The actual /dev on the root filesystem only needs null and console. |

Note that udev usually runs on a ramfs or tmpfs filesystem, so all of |
| 12 |
the nodes that you see when the system is running exist only in |
| 13 |
memory, not on any disk. |

Just use root=/dev/sda1, and the system should boot fine. |
